Villa house design / 2008

Subject: Villa House DesignDescription: Private VillaDate: 2008Professor: Zeynab Ustun

This is the project commissioned from a private client for a summerhouse by the see, located in North Cyprus - Girne, in the Rivirya Hotel Vil-lage.

This was an attempt to fulfil the cultural and expressional dimensions in architecture; that was also an introduction to principle of plan-ning, taking care of the traditions and the local environment, as for example the humidity, hot weather and typical local stones of the area.

The idea behind the project is therefore to emphasize the wildness of the area by placing a clean shaped volume that naturally finds its way into the landscape according to view, orientation and privacy.

The house lays on the ground like rock does in the desert: it is evident and part of the surround-ing in the same time, an architecture between human-made and nature.The 150sq of the over ground space has been fitted as a unique volume, where the sleeping room, kitchen, bathroom, living room and en-trance are at the same time isolated and com-municating with the whole residence.To be noted the living room, circle shaped with the glass balcony in order to see the movements of the sea below.

Residential Complex/ 2010

Subject: Architecture design VDescription: Residential complexProfessor: Hossina NafaAll phases of this project are performed by Sara Ghezelayagh and Ali Khalili.

Designing a residential complex is the at-tempt of this course, considering the environ-ment, culture and economy.

12

Nowadays in big cities is easy to see controver-sy as urbanism vs. nature; our concept is some-how criticism of this issue.On the other hand, the site had the potential to vast the concept, half full of tall trees and half without any, neighbouring high-rise buildings. This is the rebel of introversion and extrover-sion.

Ali Jebeli and Jahid Yetkili work on construction site at ANI Mimarlik Construction Company.

My task: When I joined this project it was from the start-ing, the design for the exterior shape was more or less decided, but on the other hand I had the opportunity to work on the interiors and materi-als as well as taking care of some details draw-ings.

16

The idea for the facade was to use the solid ma-terial that increases its qualities over time and that gives the feeling of monolithic.

During this phase I had a chance to help the customers in choosing materials and fixtures and bathroom.

The floor and part of the walls are covered in tiles different grey stones. The concept for the interior was to integrate in one side of each room all the main furniture.
